The Educational Programs Committee of the Yale Alumni Association of Metropolitan New York (YAAMNY), in collaboration with the Arts & Entertainment Committee, is pleased to announce. .  .

an afternoon presentation at powerHouse Arena in DUMBO, Brooklyn with photojournalist and Yale alumna Scout Tufankjian '00.

She photographed President Barack Obama's ascendancy to the presidency. Her work has been published in Yes We Can: Barack Obama's History-Making Presidential Campaign. Yes We Can is the story of Barack Obama's historic journey from junior Senator from Illinois to President of the United States as documented by Scout Tufankjian, the only photographer to cover his entire nearly two-year campaign.

USA Today praised "Tufankjians arresting, often moving images." Popular Photography wrote: ". . . the quality of Tufankjians images alone makes it a worthy photo book. The photojournalist followed Obamas campaign from its unofficial beginning to its victorious end, capturing striking, candid moments throughout." 

The program will include a talk and question and answer session and conclude with an informal reception. Friends and family are welcome, whether or not affiliated with the university.
